There it is, all shiny and bright :)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi
We have the usual crop of optimisations and (fewer) bugfixes.
There are further improvements to the GUI, including significant layout changes.
The most involved change has been the introduction of LV2 support - as our most
intrepid friends will know :)
This has been extensively tested on four completely different LV2 hosts, along
with detailed tests of Yoshimi in stand-alone mode to ensure there are no
regressions.
Supported features:
1. Sample-accurate midi timing.
2. State save/restore support via LV2_State_Interface.
3. Working UI support via LV2_External_UI_Widget.
4. Programs interface support via LV2_Programs_Interface.
Planned features:
1. Multi channel audio output. Now only 'outl' and 'outr' are routed to lv2
plugin instance. 2. Controls automation support. This will be a part of a
common controls interface.

On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.10.2. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License.
From the NEWS file:
Changes:
RDImport Enhancements. Added '--clear-datetimes' and
'--clear-daypart-times' options to rdimport(1).
ELR Data. Added a column to allow ELR data to be seen when editing
logs in RDLogEdit.
HPI Fixes. Fixed a bug that caused ASI cards with only AES3 ports
to fail to detect those ports.
Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 242, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema
version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to allow
any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Aw, snap!
Wait, there's no big deal (nor chromium's) cosmic (mis)alignment
being announced here now. Rest calm. Sorry to delude some of you :)
But, there's one (notable) leap on this tiny side and part of the
universe... (or is it a multiverse? move along...) What I really want to
tell is all about this happening and none else's freaking business:
Qtractor 0.6.4 (baryon throne beta) is released!
Release highlights:
* Punch-in/out over loop-recording/take modes (NEW)
* Latch/momentary MIDI Controllers toggle mode (NEW)
* JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support (NEW)
* Custom style and color themes (NEW)
* Mixer strip multi-row layout (NEW)
* Muted audio tracks monitoring on playback (FIX)
* Clip fade-in/out resize on time-stretch (FIX)
As for the clueless (as if there's any):
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written
in C++ with the Qt4 framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack
Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a
fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated
to the personal home-studio.
Well, although this being yet another milestone--if one may call it
that way--it also makes it official (yes, deeply engraved in stone) and
definitive as a migration to Git can be, as for source-code control and
management (it's a dirty job I know, but someone has to do it, right?).
Nevermind. It's done.
Meanwhile, please, don't ever hesitate to ask whether any of the
above does affect you some way or another. Or maybe anything else, yay?
Indeed, the puzzled you feel, the better :)

- Mixer widget gets automatic multi-row strip layout.
- Clip fade-in/out now follows time-stretch resizing, via
shift/ctrl+click and drag one of its edges.
- Fixed a typo causing FTBFS when VST plug-in support is explicitly
disabled (./configure --disable-vst).

Most notably Yoshimi supports multiple instances now without having to re-load
from file.
The GUI now correctly tracks MIDI bank and program changes, and you never see an
empty text field.
